Go to a go-cart or small engine shop, they usually have sheets you can buy to make your own gaskets. It's not a liquid, but it's a thin aluminum sheet with some kind of gasket compound on it.

It works very well, you can get it up to a 1/4" thick. I use it for my custom turbo gaskets.

Good link tim.


I didn't even notice you were looking for an exhaust manifold gasket, I read it too fast and understood flange gasket.


The manifold gasket would be hard to make lol
